   If your developer tooling is putting out #HTML that looks like this; I don't care what advantages that tooling seems to give to you the developer - the output is garbage that does not work with the grain of the web itself.

   It's using the core technologies of the web in a manner entirely antithetical to their design.

   It is anti-web.

   This is a cul-de-sac of development practice.
